This is by design: https://invent.kde.org/utilities/konsole/-/merge_requests/108#note_54641

since (re)scanning the dir periodically would incur a performance penalty, especially in big folder.

Comment 2 Christoph Cullmann 2024-12-01 20:21:51 UTC

One should re-scan if the dir modification date is altered.
